[molten oasis]

Ah

[timber falcon]

why do i always lose speed ties

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/1beda15b6d87efb0 What is a good 6th member? It is a whale team

[fluid fiber]

I still think a new Pokemon Battle Revolution where all mechanics could be toggled would be amazing

[timber falcon]

no matter what my caly-s is slower than others

[fluid fiber]

Scarf it

[timber falcon]

i lose protect

[fluid fiber]

Then lose the speed ties

[autumn vault]

And tera ghost to murder every single one

Boom monster created

[fluid fiber]

Well off to work for 8 hours

[timber falcon]

amoongus or farig

[molten oasis]

Poky why did you ping me

Then delete the message, again

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/0b06fd43f7bcbe7d Done, any changes

[timber falcon]

why fire moongus

[mighty stump]

Are you running max speed Timid

[timber falcon]

yes

[mighty stump]

Oh well

[timber falcon]

and those ties still hate me

[autumn vault]

Calyrex-Ice rider

[timber falcon]

just use water

fire lets u be hit by HH

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/fca65dc65e753ede Now what?

[warped mason]

Thoughts on this? https://pokepast.es/0f9122e46da48c31

[autumn vault]

I think you don't want room service on Armarouge

Power Herb + Meteor Beam is best on this team

[warped mason]

I'll try that

[vague geode]

anyone wanna multi battle?

[timber falcon]

just lost to another fricking speed tie

WHY CANT I OUTSPEED

heck im even calcing to see if theyre running scarf, and that man was in fact NOT scarfed but using specs

im generally pissed

[molten oasis]

We now have NAIC registration times

I am gonna try to go

[timber falcon]

good luck

btw are chances for speed tie just 50/50

[autumn vault]

Yes

They are a coin flip and you have shit luck when it comes to a coin flip

[timber falcon]

[foggy lodge]

Fake Out + Psychic Terrain?

[mighty stump]

Lol, then find a new consideration

[timber falcon]

does scarf shifu OHKO caly-s?

[foggy lodge]

Probably not

[timber falcon]

Hmm

[molten oasis]

Tera water does

[timber falcon]

Oh that’s nice to know

[molten oasis]

Assuming no bulk

[timber falcon]

Oh

[molten oasis]

252+ Atk Tera-Water Urshifu-Rapid Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Calyrex-Shadow Rider on a critical hit: 180-216 (102.8 - 123.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO

[timber falcon]

Hmm ok so that can work

[autumn vault]

252+ Atk Tera-Water Urshifu-Rapid Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Calyrex-Shadow Rider on a critical hit: 168-204 (96 - 116.5%) -- approx. 93.8% chance to OHKO

[molten oasis]

That’s still an Ohko to me

[autumn vault]

A VERY small chance to not OHKO

You shouldn't worry about it anyways

[shadow wind]

Also I think the chances are skewed because it’s a multi hit.

[bold geode]

That is.....
Basically an OHKO

[autumn vault]

Yes i know

[bold geode]

A basically 6.2-6.3% chance
Basically 1/16 chance to not OHKO
That is not a great gamble lmao

[mighty stump]

[upbeat quail]

I keep running into minimize comps with smeargle on the SV ladder. Nothing is more annoying people who play those strats

Ah yes, minimize spam. Great fun

[chrome knot]

1 heat crash, 1 sacred sword yaayyy

[craggy dagger]

i just….

watched a game of the century

@thorny beacon fuck you

[thorny beacon]

it was cinematic

[willow vault]

I bought some sauce. It’s gonna be really nice with some spaghet

[molten oasis]

[chrome knot]

ming

[warped mason]

Sableye vgc just won a tourney with this

Love the kantonian zapdos

[thorny beacon]

emma

[chrome knot]

haaaai

[thorny beacon]

hi, i should not be here 👍

very bad at vgc

[willow vault]

That’s fine people always start of that way

[chrome knot]

i caaant go to place ur normally in :<

[thorny beacon]

I'm almost never in the raid channel anyway, only really come around for event raids in the dedicated channel

been busy with uni final year

[chrome knot]

ouhhhh

how school been

[thorny beacon]

fockin, many group assignments

it's tough but at the same time it's pretty good

very happy with the mates i got

on break atm but it's only 1 week, get thrown back into the warzone next week

as soon as we get back, we work with a client to design an ad campaign of some sort for them, holding a meeting to dicuss and shit

so there's that

[chrome knot]

woa lot’s happening

[thorny beacon]

yeah, but it's good to take my mind off it for now

played vgc for the first time today so hence why i got reeled in here

[chrome knot]

and howd that go :3

[thorny beacon]

bububaba gave me cybertron's worlds team so we jumped straight into showdown and it was a lot of info to take in

played about 19 games

[untold urchin]

if i know him as well as i think i do, he’s gonna stay that way

[thorny beacon]

went uh 11-8 but a lot of help

then this green guy wanted me to play on cart so i grabbed wolfey's team and got treated to seeing hammer arm tornadus and endeavour sentret

so that was very funny

[warped mason]

I'm still bad

[thorny beacon]

Nah man you're goated in my eyes, I only just started today so everyone else is great

[warped mason]

Tho i like discussing competitive teams

[molten oasis]

Yea, kyogre ain’t gonna like my Kyurem

[untold urchin]

dude no way Kermit the Frog watched you play??

[warped mason]

If it takes kyurem to beat kyogre then I'm all for it

Kyurem white is my goat

[molten oasis]

It looks good into that twam

Freeze dry especially

[warped mason]

Just ran into this guy running hisuian lilligant on koraidon, he gave koraidon chlorophyl 💀

[molten oasis]

Yuh, fast sleep powder

[chrome knot]

thas alot

[thorny beacon]

felt fast though on showdown so at the time it felt like a normal amount of games

[radiant siren]

Ultra Ball yes

So fun to play the double battles

[molten oasis]

well, paying for NAIC, is gonna suck

that is all of my paychecks for the next month

but it’s worth it

[craggy dagger]

hammer arm torn and endeavour sentret-
except you almost threw the sentret game

[bold geode]

It just really sucks due to like location
It would probably be a little cheaper if it wasn't in a spot in Louisiana that tourists visit often

[craggy dagger]

he’s 5-0 on cart so that’s good :0

[molten oasis]

Dude

It’s $100 a night

CHEAPEST from what I found

I don’t get to spend money for the next month lmao

[craggy dagger]

:0

[molten oasis]

It’s worth it

[autumn vault]

Good Luck

[molten oasis]

Plus Uber

And the flight

[abstract torrent]

Hello! Is this the right place to ask for vgc help?

[molten oasis]

And food

[autumn vault]

Yes

[molten oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/man-collapsing-tokyojns-drunk-man-gif-22361094

[abstract torrent]

Hello! I've played a few games during the SWSH pre-DLC era and was able to reach Master Ball rank for the rewards. Now it's the first time I'm doing this in SV. After getting close to 33% wr in 25 games, I've won the past 6 games using this team, but its ofensive coverage is not that good. The strategy works around enabling the genie duo so they can do the work through bleakwind and sandsear storms (100% in the rain). This also helps Urshifu deal tons of damage. Since tailwind is usually on the field, Flutter Mane's nature is modest to get the 30% spa bonus. Amoonguss is there to redirect + defensive coverage when switching mons.

As I said, its coverage is not the best. I've had some problems when playing against a Zapdos. The only superefective move was ice beam from the Politoed (which was built as a defensive support).

Any tips you can give me to improve this team?

[molten oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/man-collapsing-tokyojns-drunk-man-gif-22361094

Wait sorry I wanted to favorite it

[molten oasis]

What regulation are you playing in?

[abstract torrent]

Ranked battles in reg F

[autumn vault]

Pokepaste?

Also sludge bomb on amoonguss is pretty bad, i would reccomend to replace it for pollen puff to be more supportive and get an offensive move

[fluid fiber]

I feel like rain dance on Torn is better than having the Politoad

[autumn vault]

Also Damp Rock is very bad

[fluid fiber]

coughs in Wolfe winning with sludge bomb

[autumn vault]

It depends, but pollen puff looks better here

[chrome knot]

theres hidden lore to this win

[fluid fiber]

But yeah overall pollen is better

But I don't think politoad helps much

[abstract torrent]

Who could be a good replacement for Politoed? Raging Bolt or Incineroar?

[fluid fiber]

World champ difference

[fluid fiber]

Raging gets thunder which in rain benefits you - but Incin is always good

[chrome knot]

nah neil thought he had lost already and decided tera stellar looked cooler than poison LOL

[fluid fiber]

So is Rilla

[atomic mural]

https://tenor.com/view/lie-lie-detector-cap-you-are-lying-stop-lying-gif-12198388917433403789

[molten oasis]

Bro ok

Flight, are so cheap, which is so hype

ROUND TRIP are like at most $400, which is great

Right now at least

The hotel is what’s gonna suck me dry

[fluid fiber]

My face when I have to pay rent so I can't go to a tourney for a few months

[molten oasis]

Lmfao

[chrome knot]

bnb with people

[molten oasis]

I don’t know people

[chrome knot]

theres always people lookin for rooms for events

[molten oasis]

Ok well ig the question is where do I look

[chrome knot]

twitter

[molten oasis]

I will do what I must

[chrome knot]

u actin like they bad people

[molten oasis]

I’m joking sorry, I’m not active on Twitter lol idk how people are

I’ve heard bad things that’s all

I will go there, if no luck I will be broke as shit

Anyone else planning on going to NAIC?

[abstract torrent]

With Rilla I'd have no coverage against flying. I'm gonna try the raging bolt once I get home

[bold geode]

That one server me and you are in always has people looking to BnB

Or split hotel costs

[molten oasis]

Oh, gtk

[bold geode]

They do that for like
EVERY event

[molten oasis]

Good, cuz i don’t want to pay $500+ for hotel fees lol

[bold geode]

Good ol New Orleans shit

[molten oasis]

The flights aren’t that bad at least

The other thing

Is deciding what I’m bringing

So like, once I get signed up and I’m done with finals

It’s go time lol

[bold geode]

I mean
I don't know anyone complaining about plane prices, unless it's like Hawaii or somewhere REALLY busting with tourism

[molten oasis]

I thought plane tickets were like, stupid expensive but I think I’m just remembering costs from Japan

[bold geode]

Like a few tourists might visit New Orleans, but not many especially considering the time of year
Now if the competition was around Mardi Gras, you'd be fucked

[molten oasis]

Lmao

I plan to buy my plane ticket next week

And then I’m just gonna try to avoid spending

Too much

[bold geode]

Gonna buy both for to and back?

[molten oasis]

Round trip flights

[bold geode]

👌

[molten oasis]

Highest I saw was $700 and the average was like $300ish

So I should be fine for flights

[bold geode]

The only time I flew, we raised money, but that was taken care of by a tour thing we were going thru so
Idk how that works tbh

[molten oasis]

Ah

Yea I haven’t done flights myself so this is my first time looking at things

[bold geode]

None of them are really over hyped, but if I had to choose

[autumn vault]

One is more overhyped than the others

Imo it is Miraidon

[next stump]

yes I will be there

[molten oasis]

Hype

[next stump]

downtown hotels are gonna be a bitch though, but they did say that there will be some discounts given with certain partner hotels

at least on their info portal it said that

[molten oasis]

Yea

Hopefully I can get into one quickly

Cuz finding something farther out means more money for in city transportation

And, money for hotels

[torn parrot]

Eeeee oooo aaaa

Sadly it’s defintely koraidon

Poor guy

I was part of the hype train

[polar canyon]

Miraidon is really cool I love it

Until rillaboom rolls up

[solid frigate]

i want to but my parents will deny me go there cuz its a different country

[autumn vault]

No

[solid frigate]

and i don't have a job yet

[fluid fiber]

I have a job but just got my house so funds are going into that for now

Hoping to attend an event soon though

Rn I have like a 60% win rate too so I have to bolster up that number before I want to do anything big

[craggy dagger]

latis imo

checks lando nicely

[foggy lodge]

It's for a weird tournament, not a reg F or G tournament

I used Latias because of the faster tailwind, but with Salamence i can pivot intimidates

[bold geode]

Nah
People just probably haven't fully brought it out yet

Tryna figure out how to go between like
Either full Quark Drive teams or HO stuff

Probably could be used another way, but that's essentially basic Miraidon stuff

Meanwhile with Koraidon, I still say Groudon better as a general sun setter unless you want a touch more offense
And if you say Terapagos is overhyped rn, then you're just coping I'm sorry

[autumn vault]

I just put it there because it was hyped a lot here

Not as much as miraidon, but you get what i am trying to say

[bold geode]

Nah the hype is definitely there with Miraidon

[autumn vault]

Now i wonder why it has a vote

[bold geode]

I wouldn't say it's over

[autumn vault]

I thought the cyclizar ancestor/descendant would be the only ones voted and not the turtle

[bold geode]

Tbh I don't even think Koraidon is overhyped
Just if I had to choose

[autumn vault]

I didn't see much hype for Koraidon

[bold geode]

Cuz people wanted Groudon lol

[autumn vault]

People were like "Tera fire sun is very strong, but flutter is a huge problem and groudon is not weak to it is worse than groudon" type of thing

Atleast what i know, it might have more than that

[willow vault]

My exact thoughts

I reckon I said that statement a million times

[autumn vault]

Personally if you are so worried about flutter with Koraidon then use Scarf or Tailwind, ez as that

It is quite simple

Outspeed the outspeeder

[willow vault]

I’m not just my thoughts going into the reg

[bold geode]

Like Koraidon has to compete with Groudon rn in terms of sun setting
And unless you want more offensive sun setter, I say Groudon is better
Groudon is the one OLD Mon that is still great
It got even more viable in fact
But I won't say Koraidon is God awful

[autumn vault]

I agree, Koraidon is very hyper offensive compared to groudon, but i wouldn't say it is the only old mon that is still great

We have Kyurem-W who does great in snow and Rayquaza who is very good in Tofu's eyes

And also Kyogre who although it is worse is still great

[willow vault]

I think I also said I’d rather have Groudon since fairy + Ground is so good offensively plus both stab attacks that hit multiple targets

[autumn vault]

It is an A tier mon, but not an unviable mon

Kyogre + Archaludon is actually good

[autumn vault]

Only drawback is Wide Guard

[willow vault]

Yeah true

[autumn vault]

And also removing weather

[bold geode]

Oh I meant old as in oldest that was relevant at some point
Kyogre has more struggles now
And Rayquaza ain't doing so good either

[autumn vault]

I didn't say Ray is incredible, it is good but not THAT good

[bold geode]

Yeah I was just clarifying what I meant

[autumn vault]

yeah ik

[autumn vault]

I mean Xerndon was really good in previous generations, without xerneas it will just use the Cloth with the fairy type

Flutter mane

[bold geode]

I will say this is actually a little based
Archaludon crazy though

[autumn vault]

I didn't call it great or amazing, it is a good combo

Arch resists grass and electric

[bold geode]

Like it was already good in rain before so

[autumn vault]

Kyogre has a better Mu into ground which Archaludon does not like

[bold geode]

Then again, Archaludon is actually not as bad into Groudon
You forget that in terms of bulk physically, Archaludon ain't lackin

[dapper crag]

Pokémon No. 1018: Archaludon

SableyeBot version 4.27.0

[molten oasis]

[autumn vault]

I didn't forget

It is physically bulky, Kyogre is a specially bulky mon

Man these 2 have synergy

[bold geode]

It's SpDef is the only problem
But that's honestly like
Rough
Like the meta has a good mix of spatkers and physical rn imo

[autumn vault]

Why we use assault vest

[bold geode]

And with the items they run, it's harder cuz with a team, you want everything
Snarl
Wisp
Knock Off
Wide Guard
Yet it's hard to do so lol

At least that's what it feels like to me rn

[autumn vault]

Might want to replace Wisp for intimidate in case of Cybertron sees it (its a joke dont take it seriously)

[molten oasis]

What’s the issue rn

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/7ed5f9b483da9d0a I have this Kyogre team myself actually

Planning to test it tomorrow because of the bottom image

That is the time in my country

[molten oasis]

Why not defensive Tera on Archa

[autumn vault]

offense cause why not

Besides all my archaludons use offensive teras

And they kick but with them

[molten oasis]

I just generally see more value out of fairy

But ok

[autumn vault]

Flying to resist ground and fighting is also very valuable as a defensive tera

And weak to 2 types that you previously resisted

Ice is dealt with thx to steel STAB

[molten oasis]

Ok but getting weak to caly s isn’t a good idea

[autumn vault]

Wait why isn't it used?

[autumn vault]

How does it make itself weaker to it?

[molten oasis]

Sorry, ice

[autumn vault]

Also surprised to not see flying

[solid frigate]

Bug its just Underrated as a Tera Type-

but its bad soooo

[autumn vault]

Flying has a ground immunity, a fighting resist, deals with fighting types with tera flying blast (pls dont use), weak to 2 types that Arch resisted, Ice dealt with by steel STAB

Honestly why not tera flying?

[timber falcon]

whats this?

[autumn vault]

Labmaus

[timber falcon]

which mon?

[autumn vault]

Archaludon

[timber falcon]

yeah then no flying is suprising

[autumn vault]

Very

Only drawback is being weak to miraidon and calyrex ice

Calyrex ice is dealt with by stamina and steel STAB

[timber falcon]

which arent the best drawbacks

[autumn vault]

But imo worth it to get nearly perfect synergy

[timber falcon]

i mean, id probably use fairy typing with archaludon

lul what

[halcyon garnet]

Yo guys I need some advice I hate running trick room teams and I'm having problems.with them with the team I'm running. Is it worth it putting trick room on flutter mane to reverse it ? Or how do people deal with trick room besides stalling

[timber falcon]

taunt

mons like amoongus

[autumn vault]

Probably because they want to buff it's defense to tank whatever attack it throws at flutter

[timber falcon]

2HKOd and a win with 4-2

[autumn vault]

[halcyon garnet]

Amoonguss has so many good moves its hard to put taunt on him. What would you recommend replacing? I'm using spore/sludge bomb/protect/rage powder

Or were those separate thoughts lol. Taunt and pokemon like amoonguss

[timber falcon]

i mean, just taunt the moongus no? what makes it difficult?

[halcyon garnet]

Oh you meant taunt theirs to stop trick room

[timber falcon]

mhm

OR use a slow pokemon that can work in tirck room

[chrome knot]

yay for magic bounce

[next stump]

what team are you using @halcyon garnet ? it's really subjective with your team as to how to handle trick room

[torn parrot]

Amoongus has taunt wtf?

Oh no it doesn’t

You meant taunt the moongus

[rustic mountain]

[charred saddle]

sus amogus

If that was to me, I haven't played since release. I just had a 'pain' and general break

[timber falcon]

love seeing a misty terrain howl ninetails

[dapper crag]

Move: Misty Terrain

For 5 turns, the terrain becomes Misty Terrain. During the effect, the power of Dragon-type attacks used against grounded Pokemon is multiplied by 0.5 and grounded Pokemon cannot be inflicted with a non-volatile status condition nor confusion. Grounded Pokemon can become affected by Yawn but cannot fall asleep from its effect. Camouflage transforms the user into a Fairy type, Nature Power becomes Moonblast, and Secret Power has a 30% chance to lower Special Attack by 1 stage. Fails if the current terrain is Misty Terrain.

[rustic mountain]

howl a9 is wild

[timber falcon]

not only that, i tried stop veil with rain dance and that mf had skill swap sabelye

he perfectly stopped my EVERY move

i cant even be mad lol that was impressive

[polar canyon]

Oh damn it's like 20x better than release rn

I still did run out of things to do

But only after 120ish hours

I assumed you were a player bc everyone in the discord has the main galaxy and console in their usernames

Galaxy euclid and ps4 version

Competitive pokemon discussion chat at its finest

Anyways I think I'll try dusk mane again

Idk how I didn't use urshifu last time I tried it

It can deal with incin and lando

[tough idol]

Haha 😄 I didn't realise. I just rejoined server, forgot default name

[bold geode]

Excuse me what

[charred saddle]

grass monkey strong

love how the new team cybertron featured feels

back to top 1k

[torn parrot]

Hell yeah nice climb

[charred saddle]

kek i never realized i caught this shit

0 speed and bold too

[torn parrot]

Wtf

That’s so unreal

[charred saddle]

[solid frigate]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2107380505-8pbxzmk4f31vx7lgvb93d69h2vm5zprpw finally saw someone uses Giratina

[rustic mountain]

idk some1 mentioned they ran into it, i had to double check it even got it

[charred saddle]

they self flare blitz to thaw out

what in the hell

[rustic mountain]

[charred saddle]

kinda wanna say theyre smart but like theres nothing threatening the mushroom

oh btw does ludon wall terapagos?

[rustic mountain]

id have to watch the replay but its prolly jus a bad play

[charred saddle]

since i was thinking body press is like annoying

[rustic mountain]

archaludon?

[charred saddle]

yep

[rustic mountain]

i mean depends on the set, i think a lot are running earth power

nd if u tera ur just toast to starstorm

[charred saddle]

oh turtle gets EP right

thats ass

[solid frigate]

No i just froze the Amogus

[chrome knot]

that whole replay is a mess

[charred saddle]

starstorm ep and meteor

[rustic mountain]

but blitzing to unthaw is objectively just bad in 99.9% use cases

i dont need to watch to know that

[solid frigate]

they tera'd into water so yeah

[rustic mountain]

clefairy torn is wild

howd u get that position

[charred saddle]

oh mb

paused at the wrong turn

[solid frigate]

Alola Ninetales blizzard freeze

[charred saddle]

switch A9 to torn and they self blitz to amoonguss clef protect

and the spore into clef

[rustic mountain]

yea i agree w/ emma that match sounds like a mess

[charred saddle]

itll be insane if they spore into a9 tho

[rustic mountain]

thats how it be sometimes tho

[charred saddle]

i mean its still cool tech and i wouldnt thought about it

i even forgot that u thaw from fire actually

[solid frigate]

and ya know whats funny iss that i sacrifce A9 and let Torn jump in for Tailwind

[rustic mountain]

not every fire move unthaws

[charred saddle]

oh?

[rustic mountain]

just certain ones

[charred saddle]

da fauck

[solid frigate]

only flare blitz and some others

[rustic mountain]

u thought itd make sense?

[charred saddle]

[solid frigate]

I'm fine with A9 being in my team Having Aurora Veil instead of Grimmsnarl spam both screens is way better plus Snow Boosted A9

[solid frigate]

no it does not-

If you don't Tera,Earth Power,
If you tera that rresist Ground,Starstorm.

And i mean actual Stellar Tera Starstorm

[charred saddle]

already been answered here

[rustic mountain]

[solid frigate]

but did not anserw the tera part-

anyways

[rustic mountain]

i did

[charred saddle]

this

[solid frigate]

i'm just stupid

[rustic mountain]

its all good haha

[solid frigate]

rn i have to position A9 better

[charred saddle]

thing with A9 is

its very open to taunt prankster, manual weather, weather war

[rustic mountain]

yea

[charred saddle]

and like ur moveset is blizzard and veil which i dont really like

[rustic mountain]

gta just be mindful of those options

[charred saddle]

once u lost the weather u lose ur damage source of ice

but its still a good choice nonetheless not saying its bad

[rustic mountain]

u think freeze dry too? its not like ur really gna want to click that most times

[charred saddle]

its just a different gameplay then grimm

[solid frigate]

i can ran Freeze Dry for any Lando or Ogerpon Shenangins

[rustic mountain]

if u lose weather/veil option a9 is kinda jus dead weight anyway barring specific matchups

[molten oasis]

Ok then, sounds like I don’t need to do anything to it, yet

[charred saddle]

[rustic mountain]

why

[charred saddle]

i remember the oven rotom gets a play and wash

dont remember if mow gets it

[chrome knot]

time for you to rotom mow to bed :<

[rustic mountain]

rotom heat and wash are generally good in regional dex formats

[molten oasis]

Are they?

[solid frigate]

Wash and Oven are most used, idk if mow is used

[charred saddle]

[rustic mountain]

[charred saddle]

[mighty stump]

Rotom-Heat not bad into Caly-S

[rustic mountain]

[solid frigate]

[polar canyon]

Weak armor weakness policy and aqua jet slash j

[solid frigate]

ikik lol

[rustic mountain]

not just u haha but like whew the cavalry was in full affect

[shadow wind]

I mean I barely remember fire oger has mold.

[mighty stump]

oh no, anyways

[charred saddle]

the most shittiest shit ive ever encountered and made me dreamt of that shit is

surging strike into weakness policy weak armour endure armarouge

[solid frigate]

its Handy in some occasions

[shadow wind]

Handy in a lot of situations.

[charred saddle]

+6 speed +2 spA and just casually swtich in indeedee spam stuff is fucking annoying

[polar canyon]

Probably kills without weak armor

[charred saddle]

its self proc

self surging

forgot to specify its endure

[polar canyon]

And armarouge is supposed to survive surging strikes when after each of the hits its defense drops?

Oh

[charred saddle]

its endure

[mighty stump]

lol

[torn parrot]

my friend made this for me
i think its made with a guy on twitter's art who makes little pokemon thumbnails

[mighty stump]

ohh yeah i think that's him

[charred saddle]

oo

[shadow wind]

That’s so dope.

[mighty stump]

Speaking of graphics

[polar canyon]

I wish I had the budget to pay artists for cool art for fun

[mighty stump]

Updated the blog aesthetic with a self-made banner as well:

[polar canyon]

That's a really cool style

[mighty stump]

Cube_Ori releases a lot of free wallpapers for your phones too

On their twitter

[shadow wind]

Gyarados off Kanagawa.

[shadow wind]

Very epic.

[polar canyon]

If I was an ogerpon fanatic I'd use that

I mean it in a good way

[mighty stump]

I was gonna contact them to do my blogsite wallpaper cause I thought a version of their Magikarp would look very nicely

[shadow wind]

That’s dope.

[polar canyon]

Cute

[mighty stump]

Then I came across Gyarados off Kanagawa and say the texture of the art and it scratched my brain

[polar canyon]

Fun story

[charred saddle]

was watching cybertron, and he mentioned sub urshifu. is that even a thing?

like dropping prio?

[polar canyon]

How would you go about a dusk mane team?

[mighty stump]

Probably for TClap

[charred saddle]

hm

[mighty stump]

WP TR or CA setup, still TR

[solid frigate]

i am still thinking of Which Prankster Tailwind should i bring,Torn or Whim

[polar canyon]

I was considering dd ca setup

[tough idol]

Rest of team?

[polar canyon]

Slow sd ca does sound good tho

Urshifu and rain dance torn that help cover for fire weakness and incin/lando

[timber falcon]

It sounds extra

[solid frigate]

https://pokepast.es/919a6d0c137ecac0

[polar canyon]

Does this sound good?

[solid frigate]

and yes Hybrid Trick Room Tailwind Dialga team-

[timber falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/yuh-uh-meme-funny-nuh-uh-gif-4499945910302690705

[charred saddle]

torn

[solid frigate]

Guh huh

[polar canyon]

You could put tr on dialga if you really want to

[solid frigate]

back to V1 Team i go then

[charred saddle]

flying coverage is nice and doesnt overlap with the fairy tera and flutter

[timber falcon]

Yeah tr dialga incase farig don’t work out

[solid frigate]

Protect Saved my ass couple of times lol but sure

[mighty stump]

Finally cut down my teamlist lol

Just saying, this games about to be like, Rilla/Incin/Urshi still +3

So it's not too bad

[polar canyon]

If I run sash on torn should I still invest in bulk?

[charred saddle]

yeah rilla incin urshi feels so strong

[tough idol]

I like the potential Encore control from Whim.

[charred saddle]

i dont think so

[mighty stump]

That's what I did

[charred saddle]

for Surging?

[mighty stump]

Yep

[charred saddle]

thats very niche no?

[polar canyon]

Is it

[mighty stump]

Most of the time even for Surging I wouldn't but in this scenario

[timber falcon]

So many

[charred saddle]

mhm

i mean it does make sense

dk how i fee about it tho

[tough idol]

No Mirai team? Or not a fan

[autumn kelp]

man I havent play in months and I need to re-understand everything again lol so sad

[mighty stump]

I think Miraidon is kinda mid

[rustic mountain]

my favorite

[patent marsh]

Real

[rustic mountain]

cool

[timber falcon]

[polar canyon]

I love using miraidon and it's sadly mid

Rillaboom just shuts it down

[mighty stump]

Don't get me wrong, you still have to respect it heavily

[rustic mountain]

yea

[timber falcon]

Is it actually?

[charred saddle]

btw tree, cybertron just featured his own team that had steel tera shifu too

[rustic mountain]

yep i saw

[charred saddle]

tried it, feels so insanely good that i can just stay on field and bonk mons

[polar canyon]

It's pretty good in a world without rillaboom

[mighty stump]

I personally think everyone fell into that synergy-trap

[solid frigate]

Not as good as everyone thinks

[rustic mountain]

weve been using the same team

aaron knows

[mighty stump]

That you have to use Future Paradoxes with it

[mighty stump]

Now do Tera-Grass and ignore Rage Powder

[rustic mountain]

its a great team, a lot of great synergy/pivoting options but also offensive pressure wen u need it

i ran that like most of last month

[charred saddle]

the bulk tho

the bulk lets me live a lot of dumb stuff

living like 20hp

[rustic mountain]

yea

[polar canyon]

It did feel really bad when the beads of ruin boosted draco meteor missed the lando t and it used earthquake

[charred saddle]

crazy calc holy

[mighty stump]

60 BP boost? what

[solid frigate]

should i ran BM ursa or regular ursa

[charred saddle]

cybertron had 68hp 4 def 92 spdef on shifu

[rustic mountain]

idk depends on the team

[charred saddle]

so much bulk compared to standard ones

[polar canyon]

I think it depends but you can't have both ca and flame orb

[solid frigate]

i shown the team already

[mighty stump]

cough

[rustic mountain]

yea i have some bulk on mine too not quite the same tho

[tough idol]

If you run BM, no point in Telepathy Dialgo O

[solid frigate]

ok fair-

[charred saddle]

[mighty stump]

Regular Ursa feels better against CM users

[timber falcon]

can tsarena and caly-s work well together

im thinking AV tsarena

[solid frigate]

Half PLA half gen 9 team moment lets go lol

[polar canyon]

I wanna think about intimidate but it does have stab effective moves vs incin

[rustic mountain]

i obviously missed it

[mighty stump]

id want to use my Grass slot for something else when Farig exists

[rustic mountain]

mans wants me to backscroll like 10min up

[charred saddle]

tsareena works quite similar to fari

[mighty stump]

But no reason it wouldn't, techinically

[charred saddle]

but fari is bulkier and has more support util moves

[rustic mountain]

i agree w. tofu

[charred saddle]

oh tsareena is grass?

[rustic mountain]

yea?

[polar canyon]

You can also use indeedee for prio control and synergy with expanding force

[timber falcon]

ok, in that case how is throat spray farig? or would bulky HH be better

[rustic mountain]

watd u think it was

[charred saddle]

thought it was ice since they usually spam triple axel

[rustic mountain]

bruh

[solid frigate]

Dialga Origin,Farigaraf,Ursaluna,Ogerpon Wellspring,Flutter Mane,Tornadus/Whimsicott

[charred saddle]

i watched like gen 8 them using triple axel

[timber falcon]

have u even seen the mon

[charred saddle]

never, only heard about the ability

[rustic mountain]

prolly regular ursaluna to give u some good physical damage/coverage

[boreal mauve]

Normal Tsareena

Provided by Nexus-Z

[charred saddle]

[timber falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/tsareena-pokemon-sun-and-moon-pokemon-go-hair-flip-gif-12425520

[solid frigate]

yeah it kinda looks like Grass Ice

[timber falcon]

tofu, do u still have that rly bulky rilla set? i lost it

[rustic mountain]

tofu calcs--->heat spreads---> me yoinking those spreads

[polar canyon]

Honestly someone should make a document to put all the cool spreads made or mentioned by people here

[mighty stump]

no im in a set lmaoo

[rustic mountain]

[tough idol]

Wearing a leaf, also has Leaf Guard ability lol 😆

[rustic mountain]

yes typical ice type stuff

[charred saddle]

i never knew the other abilty

all i know is the majestic thingy

[timber falcon]

i back this, i need my sets

[rustic mountain]

queenly majesty

[charred saddle]

and like watching gen 8 seeing triple axel and getting SE ohkoes by incin

i go "thats ice"

[polar canyon]

And you never looked at the pokemon?

[rustic mountain]

honestly if farigarif didnt exist tsareena would prolly see more useage

[polar canyon]

Bruxish would see usage fr trust me

[charred saddle]

never checked it out. didnt play gen 8

[solid frigate]

Me running Tera Ice Triple Axel Meowscarada:

[tough idol]

Ooh I have Premier Ball role now kept rank but also newb

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/bruxish.gif

[solid frigate]

idk what i am thinking but that does not matter cuz Bolt replaced it

[polar canyon]

Most fabulous priority control

Worst one by far too

[solid frigate]

Underrated

[timber falcon]

underrated?

its ability fodder

[polar canyon]

Nah I don't hate how it looks but it does suck ass in game

Hey it has stab strong jaw psychic fangs

Unrelated but it happened right now and I wanna mention it

SableyeBot version 4.27.0

[mighty stump]

What about it

[timber falcon]

Haven’t seen it in a while

Thought wide guard spams would be too much nowadays

[mighty stump]

It gets other moves

[polar canyon]

goldendragon but instead of ghold it's dialga origin

[charred saddle]

even like dragon fang dragon pulse drago hits so hard

doesnt have to be energy spm

[timber falcon]

Ik but it mostly wants dragon energy sweeps right

[polar canyon]

Draco meteor hits like 20 trucks at once too

[mighty stump]

That's one of the tools

[solid frigate]

Dialga Mentioned? kek

[mighty stump]

252 SpA Dragon Fang Dragon's Maw Regidrago Helping Hand Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Incineroar: 193-228 (95.5 - 112.8%) -- 75% chance to OHKO

That man was running max max omlg

[timber falcon]

Lul

[mighty stump]

well not like it mattered

[polar canyon]

Imagine if it just missed

[timber falcon]

Can that Incin tank a meteor beam though, from lunala

[mighty stump]

If its max spdef? probably

+1 252+ SpA Lunala Meteor Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Incineroar: 180-212 (89.1 - 104.9%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO

[timber falcon]

Hmm interesting

[polar canyon]

If it can tank helping hand dragon fang dragons maw draco meteor I doubt it dies to non stab meteor beam

[timber falcon]

Might have to check out max max Incin at some point

[polar canyon]

Oh

[charred saddle]

non stab +1

[shadow wind]

AV incin gonna go crazy.

Essentially stab.

[timber falcon]

Oh this is max spatck too

[polar canyon]

That's so many multipliers tho

[mighty stump]

I ran near max spdef AV Incin just to ruin people's day

[polar canyon]

Huge

[solid frigate]

LOL

[mighty stump]

I also have half consideration to run fast incin to knock off PHerb before Lunala can fire it

[solid frigate]

wait how much is AV Max Sp Def-

[polar canyon]

Bro lives helping hand lando i earth power

Does it actually tho

[mighty stump]

+1 252+ SpA Lunala Meteor Beam vs. 236 HP / 244+ SpD Assault Vest Incineroar: 122-144 (61 - 72%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

[solid frigate]

holy fu-

[polar canyon]

Tera rock lunala with helping hand

[mighty stump]

I mean

[polar canyon]

Just as seen in real games

[mighty stump]

252 SpA Life Orb Tera-Fighting Calyrex-Shadow Rider Helping Hand Tera Blast vs. 236 HP / 244+ SpD Assault Vest Incineroar: 166-198 (83 - 99%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

[polar canyon]

I see it alllll the time

[solid frigate]

Lunala just have a Huge Rock on his Face

[timber falcon]

[mighty stump]

In case anyones wondering

To outspeed Lunala you need to be Jolly 220+ Incin

[polar canyon]

Does it have snarl or anything for tera fighting caly after it takes that hit

[mighty stump]

if its neutral nature non-0 speed

[mighty stump]

not really

But it's nice to know you won't die

save it for later

[polar canyon]

Real

[bold geode]

Wtf is that calc

[polar canyon]

One more fake out and intimidate

[mighty stump]

mm

I should probably do a Rental + Team dump real quick

[polar canyon]

You can just tera ghost and take 0%

Just pretend you won't get hit by astral barrage

Imagine if showdown ever gets taken down

What I've heard is that it's in "beta" phase so it won't get taken down or something

Eternal beta

[cyan smelt]

They won't take it down because there'd be a huge backlash from the community

[polar canyon]

That too

[cyan smelt]

There's formats on there that don't exist on cart

[polar canyon]

The smogon official ones like ou are meant to be replicatable in game im pretty sure

Isn't that one of their excuses to remove sleep clause and just ban sleep moves?

[mighty stump]

Oh god no

[strange fjord]

some wont be able to replicate on cart. nat dex for one. and the CAP ones too

[mighty stump]

OU can go up to over 50+ turns at a high level

[solid frigate]

idk why they do that-

[mighty stump]

You'll run out of time before actually getting to play

There's a reason why theres no one is asking to play 6v6 OU Singles on cart unless you're a casual

[polar canyon]

Even without the timer you'd dc before it ends because it's on the switch

[mighty stump]

Or that

[polar canyon]

And like ofc because you can build a pokemon in 2 minutes on showdown and 2 hours in game

If you do it really fast

And it's not a legendary

Idk how they still haven't come up with a custom rental team editor

Other than having comp be a reason for people to buy dlc and older games

You want terapagos and calyrex?

That's 120 dollars on top of the base sv game

[solid frigate]

yeah.... thats one of the problems on DLC

[polar canyon]

Good luck getting someone to trade you calyrex

[solid frigate]

which is Impossible cuz right now its so good

[polar canyon]

Let alone a 0 speed one if you want to run ice

You will not find a fair trade for that one

[solid frigate]

Calyrex is good but reload a save for a 0Ivs Is just torture

[polar canyon]

Rant over I'm tired of complaining to the void

[solid frigate]

F

[polar canyon]

https://pokepast.es/576c2b0b4b3f9aee
This is what I got going

I'm willing to change necrozmas set

And all the other sets I just don't have yet

[cyan smelt]

How bout lando

[polar canyon]

Incarnate?

I can do that

[cyan smelt]

Yes

[polar canyon]

I think I have to look at the kyogre and caly shadow matchups

Urshifu water has always been known to dislike fighting amoonguss right?

Yet I've never seen something like safety goggles or tera grass

Does tera water just have so much value that it's still worth using over ignoring amoonguss

[rigid robin]

Btw is Iron bundle uber in vgc

[mighty stump]

It's one of those thigns

[rustic mountain]

vgc doesnt have stuff like ubers. if ur asking if its used atm not really, has had use in the past and prolly will get some in reg g the upcoming format

[mighty stump]

Where you consider the pros and cons about it. Tera-Water has a lot of threshold KOs it hits so the power-spike is extremely relevant. Depending on your tera-type you alter the dynamic and matchup prep more significantly between lost KOs/being able to ignore something like Amoonguss

Its one of those things you "play around"

[rigid robin]

I mean in doubles ubers

[solid frigate]

there are no Ubers or OUs in VGC

that is Smogon's

[rustic mountain]

isnt that a separate format? vgc is not that

[rigid robin]

Not sv battle stadium. Smogon. Is Ib ubers in doubles

I get vgc and doubles conflated since their both doubles

[rustic mountain]

they seem pretty different from wat i gather so idt many ppl r gna be able to help u there

idk personally if bundle is good in ubers

[solid frigate]

SV Battle Stadium are BSS And BSD,both are VGC based

smogon really only exists in Showdown

[rigid robin]

Im battling someone on cart folloeing smogon rules. I personally hate smogon

[mighty stump]

Just go to Smogon's strategy dex lol

And you can check tiers

Any suggestions? Should I go with AV or clear amulet for iron hands and what Tera type. I’ve just been using the one from the mystery gift. The only Pokémon I’m willing to replace is Lando

[charred saddle]

more people go to fairy for better defensive option but fighting offers more offense especially eith terablast

Can't find a right 6th slot and your team is struggling with Calyrex?
Just imprison their strongest move!
With Dark Tera preventing Prankster Taunt, Sash not allowing for an OHKO and spiky shield deterring fake out Smeargle is the ultimate answer!
Don't forget your 4 Evs! 😁

[dapper crag]

Ability: Reckless

This Pokemon's attacks with recoil or crash damage have their power multiplied by 1.2. Does not affect Struggle.

SableyeBot version 4.27.0

[mighty stump]
